Thank you Neema for a wonderful introduction to Kochi. Your hospitality is incredible, you made me feel very special.

If all the world was filled with Neemas, what a wonderful place it would be! Your attention to detail and helpful arrangements have made our stay "seamless" and so enjoyable. Thanks to all your family for their friendliness and company. We will treasure the memories of our "mummy" and how she looked after us - even when we were not at her house!

Amaya and I will leave your home with fond memories, lovely culinary experience and a few pounds heavier. Olivia - you are a remarkable young lady and I appreciate your gentle nature with my daughter Amaya (16 months Old). Neema- you have made our adventure in Kerala memorable with your attention to details from arrangements with the taxi drivers to museum visit to houseboat. We truly were able to relax and enjoy the ride! Michelle Van Cornman 22nd - 28th Feb 2010 New Delhi, India |

My father and I touched down in Delhi 3 weeks ago to visit our sister, husband, baby & extended family ; after a quick visit in northern India, we finally touched down humid Cochin exhausted into the very warmest embrace of Neema, Prasad, Olivia & family. What a wonderful historic house, whose dinning table never run out of food. We easily found our way to the highlights of Fort Kochi and beyond- excellent house boat adventure! All meticulously planned & guided through Neema. Many thanks to Neema, Prasad & Olivia....for the greetings, warmth, for attention. It has been most memorable visit.Martin Cornman 22nd - 28th Feb 2010 New York, USA |

We will always remember your warm welcome on our first visit to Kerala, in years to come. Originating from Jaffna, SL, it was like coming home for us. We will always treasure our memories of meeting you Neema, Prasad, beautiful Olivia and Grandparents. We were fortunate to witness Mary enter your home for a month's stay. We enjoyed the exquisite Keralan cuisine that you prepared. We are sorry we only stayed one night. We look forward to staying again.Parantha & Balini Narendran 13 - 14 Feb 2010 Bristol, UK |

Thanks Neema! Nice, charming, lovely place. Perfect also with kids. Just a shame we spend only 1 night and we did not have the pleasure to taste the dinner. Best Wishes.Alessandra Nicola & Family 11th - 12th Feb 2010 Roma, Italy |
|
The only mistake we made in staying with Neema, Prasad, Olivia & Parents was staying for one night.....next time we will know better! Our first visit to India, our first visit to Kerala and our first visit to homestay.....all of which need to be repeated. A warm and welcoming introduction to the area made us feel at home and comfortable in this beautiful historical building. Regretfully we move on but hold fond memories and full stomach (great cooking) of our short stay at The Bungalow.Mike & Catherine Hardy 9th - 10th Feb 2010 Calgary, Canada |

Though we cannot for the life of us recall HOW we found The Bungalow on the web,we are so happy that we did.It is the best kept secret in Kerala, that's for sure! From our initial emails with Neema we had a feeling this would be very special place-one that was card for with love and attention.Having stayed here for four lovely,comfortable and cozy nights,we can now attest to Neema's and her family's warmth and care which they showered on us throughout our time with them. It is the perfect place to use as a base for exploring the Fort Cochin area and Neema's knowledge & impeccable recommendations were invaluable as we embarked on different adventures with our two-year-old in tow.The time spent with Neema,Prasad,Olivia & Grand parents was the most special part of our stay.We look forward to continuing our friendship from afar.Oh, how would we forget the sumptuous meals-thank you for wonderful cooking Neema! And for your flexibility in dealing with out sweet Cyrus.We will miss you all.Jennifer & Tim Dobe 23rd - 27th Jan 2010 Grinnell, Iowa, USA |

It was with deep regret that we leave today from our home in Vypeen. Our intrepid hostess, Neema, has not steered us wrong once. Every moment has been a delight. we really enjoyed meeting Prasad, Olivia & Parents. This has been a slice of heaven and from there we went on an overnight houseboat arranged by Neema. It could not have been more wonderful. I agree with those who have come before us that Neema should publish a cook book and astound the world. I will never forget the flavor and genuine hospitality of The Bungalow Homestay. Thank you so much for your welcoming hospitality!Derek & Esther George 7th - 11th Jan 2010 Vermont, USA |

We have felt very welcomed by Neema, Prasad and Olivia and our stay has been a perfect end to our Keralan trip. A highlight was the folklore museum and Kathakali Dancing. Neema was very helpful in suggesting an itinerary for the two days & it all worked very well. Neema's food ws delicious. Thank you for everything.Katherine Wyatt 8th - 11th Jan 2010 Leeds, UK |

Our stay was short but very sweet! We have had the warmest of welcomes to this lovely home, full of joy in life. We enjoyed learning a bit about the history of the family, past & present. we think you have got your priorities 100% right.....family first, second, third! You have a lovely philosophy and approch to life and it was apleasure to spend an evening with you. Neema- your food is FABULOUS!! We think you should publish a book called "Neema's secret recipes". Thanks for a great stay- we will take fond memories back to UK. Best wishes for 2010 to you all. We hope, you have many more adventures!!Sue Knottenbelt 02nd - 03rd Jan 2010 West Midlands, UK |

I think the most interesting thing about The Bungalow Heritage Homestay is that Neema gives a portion of her intake to Charity. As Neema puts it she has the homestay as a 'way of making friends'. This piece really resonated with us as we've been in India for 6 weeks, shooting a charity documentary on eye disease and what the Shankara Eye Center is doing to help ease the suffering in villages of Tamilnadu. Thank you for making the last few days of our stay in India in a very, very restful one.Joya Dass & Aiden Murtagh 29th Dec 2009 -01st Jan 2010 New York, USA |

So too is your home, hospitality and generosity of time and attention. we particularly enjoyed the cooking class and eating your fabulous cuisine. Can not wait to get home and try out my new skills.

Truly a home from home. Neema and family made us so welcome from the moment we arrived, even though it was 4:00 in the morning. I have traveled extensively in India and stayed in many different places but staying with Neema and her family has been a truly wonderful and unique experience. Neema and Prasad ar full of knowledge about the local area and culture. Neema made everything so easy for us and organised a range of activities and places to visit to suit our own personal interests. Neema is also an experienced cook and we enjoyed all of her fantastic meals. thank you so much Neema, Prasad and Olivia for making us really feel like part of your family.

Brilliant! Brilliant! We have had most marvelous time, with a family who have opened their home and their heart to us. It has been an absolute privilege to meet Neema, Prasad, Olivia and Mummy & Dady. From the first moment they were friendly, welcoming and full of insights and commentry. We really appreciated getting to understand the nuances of Indian life. And it's always really great to have someone you can ask all those obvious and important questions. And the food! we had a cooking lesson; Chicken MAsala a' la Neema and Fish curry. Superb cuisine and so straight forward, even I could do it! Thank you so much for your wondrful hospitality.

The house is a home with all members of family engaged and kind; Olivia's dancing and stories of her exams made it complete.
